2 Digital Engineering Strategy Digital Engineering Strategy (Video link) Basic capabilities needed by Services and Agencies to begin use of Digital Engineering practices Objective Guide the planning, development, and implementation of digital engineering across the services and agencies Expected Impact Increase technical cohesion and awareness of system in lifecycle activities Reform the Department s business practices for greater performance and agility Coordination Approved by USD(R&E), DASD(SE), and each Service Sep 13, 2018 Page-2

3 Digital Engineering to Service Secretaries and DEPSECDEF The strategy sets a new vision for the way we conceive, build, test, field and sustain our national defense systems. It also transforms how we must train and shape the workforce to use digital engineering practices. We will convene a Digital Engineering Summit..We invite the Services and agencies to share their Digital Engineering Implementation initiatives. Separate memo to DEPSECDEF: I expect the first implementation plans from each Service by end of December US Army Lead: Dr. Nancy Bucher nancy.m.bucher.civ@mail.mil Sep 13, 2018 Page-3

Formalize the planning for models to support engineering activities and decision making across the lifecycle 2. Formally develop, integrate, and curate models 3. Use models to support engineering activities and decision making across the lifecycle Sep 13, 2018 Page-7

8 Digital Engineering Strategy Goal 2 Provide an enduring, authoritative source of truth 1. Plan and develop the authoritative source of truth 2. Govern the authoritative source of truth 3. Use the authoritative source of truth across the lifecycle Sep 13, 2018 Page-8

9 Digital Engineering Strategy Goal 3 Incorporate technological innovation to improve the engineering practice 1. Establish an end-to-end digital engineering enterprise 2. Use technological innovations to improve the engineering practice Sep 13, 2018 Page-9

Lead and support digital engineering transformation efforts 3. Build and prepare the workforce Sep 13, 2018 Page-11

12 Digital Engineering: Thoughts on What is Necessary to Measure? Workforce Adoption - Appropriate level of skill required to function at different levels, in different roles, within a Digital Engineering Ecosystem - Applicability of domain measures to Digital Engineering adoption measurement - Use of value of Digital Engineering effectiveness to combat resource cost argument - Tool and environment availability and impact to digital engineering adoption - Non-engineering skills impact to digital engineering adoption - Usability of Digital Engineering tools, per skill level - Assessment of new skills; vs adaptation of current skills Digital Engineering Effectiveness - The expected result was achieved; and the achievement was due to the use of Digital Engineering Practices - Usability and reusability of digital artifacts - Accountability of impact of digital artifact development, and reuse on overall program schedule - Impact of lack of computing resources on digital engineering effectiveness - Accounting for changes to digital artifacts as a part of ROI calculation - Impact to Product quality (Risk and Opportunity understanding) - Digital Engineering tools effectiveness to product quality - Appropriateness of authoritative source of truth Sep 13, 2018 Page-12

13 Measurement Unknowns. What do we measure? How will the measurement be used? What functional alignments make sense for measurement? What is baseline to compare to if Acquisition / Engineering processes are changing? How is Return-on-Investment captured and described so that any ROI comparison is relevant? What does Digital Artifact completeness look like? How much modeling is enough? How is cyber-resilience of Authoritative Source of Truth assessed? How to assess workforce skill changes to remove impedance to Digital Engineering adoption? Sep 13, 2018 Page-13

14 DE Measurement Workshop has developed an Information Category- Measurable Concept Measurement (ICM) table which reflects measurement best practices Objectives of the workshop Assess the impact digital engineering may have on measurement In particular, review the ICM table to assess how does measurement change as projects implement digital engineering approaches What impact does the move towards Digital Engineering have on measurement?

19 Digital Engineering and the National Defense Strategy We will modernize key capabilities, recognizing we cannot expect success fighting tomorrow's conflicts with yesterday's weapons or equipment. Investments in space and cyberspace, nuclear deterrent forces, missile defense, advanced autonomous systems, and resilient and agile logistics will provide our highquality troops what they need to win. Remarks by Secretary Mattis on the National Defense Strategy January 19, 2018 To keep pace with our times, the department will transition to a culture of performance and affordability that operates at the speed of relevance. Success does not go to the country that develops a new technology first, but rather, to the one that better integrates it and more swiftly adapts its way of fighting. Our current bureaucratic processes are insufficiently responsive to the department's needs for new equipment. We will prioritize speed of delivery, continuous adaptation and frequent modular upgrades. Sep 13, 2018 Page-19

20 Let Us Begin a Dialogue on Digital Artifacts We start with a lot of complex technical stuff We finish with stuff stakeholders understand We organize and evolve it in ways that make sense How do we make this happen? Sep 13, 2018 Page-20
